JANUARY 12, 2012 THANKFUL THURSDAY/CHALLENGE and Give -a- Way

Hi Everyone,

Did you ever have one of those days?    I need to be thankful for everything and put it all in perspective. Like I said earlier in a post the most unpredictable things have happened this week. 
One of the ladies at the ART League was visiting in FL. and had a heart attack, she is improving, but she is one of the people that know where certain papers are. I spent some time down there, going through files trying to find the donation slips for the ATC's so I could get them mailed out. I had asked a couple of weeks ago just assuming they would be in my mailbox when I went down there.  I was sad to hear this bad news instead.  It took some time, But there was a new show going up so I got to see some of the new pieces. I was thankful to be there  and I am thankful for my good health.

This post is a bit later than I planned, because my gypsy and my imagine, keep playing tricks on me.

 Be inspired from my  This is HUGE! Thanks, with scraps-- That is the challenge.   I pulled all of this out of my scraps.

This is huge is fom My Pink Stamper "That's punny-licious stampset. The thanks is a portion from an Inkadinkadoo set, that I cut apart. The ink I used is Tim Holtz chipped sapphire. I thought this was a really fun card. Unfortunately this did not even put a dent in the scrap pile.

I will try to find what image this is from and I will post it later-- if any of you know let me know that would be great.

This will be a $15.00 gift card to Jo-ann's. just link up a your project ,following the challenge, link it back to my post

Look forward to you comments and your projects.

This challenge will stay open until JANUARY 28 11:59 pm. PST

Comments are always welcome, Hugs Diana

Thursday January 12, Blue, Silver, White Snowman card

Oh my I just love this card This just made me so happy after I made it.  I used enjoy the seasons and paper trimmings. the background paper is a combo of ETS and PT I cut the trimming out with paper trimmings on silver paper and printed the background paper, snowman clothes and the winter  from ETS.

I used silver stickles for the heart and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper. Winter treats and sayings, I used Jenni Bowlin soap powder for the ink.

This is an A2 card on PTI stampers select

trim: cut at at .7

THURSDAY MORNING- AND SOME CHALLENGES

This is a scrap card, except for the two caterpillars. I made them from walk in my Garden and color filled them with the Imagine Ancestry cartridge. The two is  form MPS "That's Punny- licious"  stamp set and it is just part of a sentiment. I used whisper strokes dual tip brush markers to color the two and then stamped it. My grandniece is going to be two on February 8th. My goal this year is to make sure everyone gets their birthday cards on time- from this point on. I already missed by B-I -L his was January 2nd.

Oh by the way does it look to you like  she likes PINK?

WEDNESDAY ----EVENING---Jan 11- Paper Trimmings

Hi Everyone,
Some of you were asking about the Paper trimmings cartridge, so I will fill you in. This is an exclusive Cricut Circle cartridge, it really is a nice cartridge, and only available to Cricut circle members.

I would encourage you to join the Cricut circle if you are interested in getting the cartridge. I just got a week ago so I am experimenting with it.  That is why you keep seeing projects that I am making with it.

I just received my new Sweet tooth boxes cartridge and it works beautifully in my imagine.
 It looks like it was the cartridge and not the machine, after all, thank goodness.

I needed another Birthday card.  So here goes.

A2 size card
PTI Vintage cream, MME a beautiful life
Paper trimings cartridge. fro the hearts.
Inkadinkdadoo for the sentiment
Tim Holtz Walnut  stain and chipped sapphire.
